Common Core in a Uncommon World Walt Disney's Surprise Package (1944).

“Might Highty Tidy” By Dick Huemer and Joe Grant

In front of the jail, the

Highty-Tighty put a great

machine. “Now,” he said,

“begins the fun. We'll take

these folk and stretch them a

little here, squeeze them a

little there, press a bit,

flatten a bit, until their forms

are just like mine!”

The people shook their fists

and cried out angry shouts.

But it was no use. One after

the other, the short, the tall,

the fat, the lean, were

crammed into the wide metal

mouth of the dreadful

machine. One after the other

they tumbled out again,

stretched and flattened and

absolutely square!

Hurdles with Academic Learning Theories and Methods

• Dated – Pre Web 2.0 collaborative • Research flaws (Academic base) • Does not consider poverty issues

well • Does not handle societal trauma • Is top down not collaborative • Not integrate with collaborative

systems ( Worksheet plague) • Needs to empower student w/

methods • Still very social Darwinism in style

Critique of Experiential Learning Kolb

• Kolb and Fry (1975) argue that the learning cycle can begin at any one of the four points – and that it should really be approached as a continuous spiral.

Flaw • Consciousness is relational and not sequential

• Definitions are vague

• Does not map Neurologically like Meyers - Briggs

• Researched on academic wealth and not working class or poverty.

• Does not connect with collaborative world
